I used a local dentist for extensive dental work last year. His name is Arthur McGreggor. On my first visit I payed my entire deductable and my percentage on each subsequent visit.
After about six visits I received a bill for $5. Since I had payed each time I called to find out what this was about and was told by his wife that I needed to find a new dentist.
She never explained the charge and was extemely rude about it. When I located another dentist he had to repair all of the work that "Dr"McGreggor did including x-rays for which I was charged $70.
Some time later I met a woman who told me that they had done the same thing to her. That they did not bill this $5 immediately, but waited until they thought you would not catch it.
She was also dismissed as a patient when she questioned the billing. Caution: remember that it was not only the billing question, but the fact that all of the repair work he did fell apart within a six month period.
